From the print and online editions of the nation's premier urban-policy magazine http://www.city-journal.org/cj-comments.xml?story=8874 Manhattan Institute The UK would do well severing their EU membership. High unemployment, rising crime rates, social unrest, uncompetitive policies & absurd "human rights" formulas are the EU elites self-serving accomplishments. In the realm of historic continental strategy the UK allied usually with Europe's 2nd power which is no longer the case- all of Europe is now 2nd rate- & the Brits have no compelling reason to be involved. Besides they have their own international/economic club embodied in a common language. http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#61281 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#61281 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 07:10:05 EST Good news from a far country...our motherland! http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#61270 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#61270 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:19:05 EST Who cares what that marketing clown acting as PM says? You would be very hard-pressed to find a leader in the Western world, and only leaders make utterances worth listening to. http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#60959 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#60959 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:57:20 EST Remember all the articles in Time and other place which proclaimed that the new European powerhouse would swamp the United States? Didn't happen, did it? - rather the reverse. This is not an issue with which I am that familiar, but isn't British skepticim in this area more or less traditional? http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#60876 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#60876 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:47:19 EST Parliament's anti-E.U. Tories, who otherwise have little time for him, called it the most Euro-skeptic speech ever given by a British leader, one they had waited to hear "for 40 years." So the UK Independence Party's Nigel Farange is not a "British leader" despite being returned to office by the Bristish voter. What a joke. http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#60645 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8874#60645 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:13:36 EST
